SNK Releases 8 Pre-NEOGEO Era Arcade Classics

SNK Playmore USA has recently announced the North American release of eight SNK Arcade Classics as PlayStation minis titles for the PSP (also compatible with PS3) on the PlayStation Store. These titles will be featured in both the “New Releases” category and the “SNK NEOGEO” Featured Publishers page. Personally, I can’t wait to play Guerrilla War and Ikari Warriors. There is a brief description as well as pricing for each of the minis below. These games are available starting today, so go get your retro game on!
